Clifford Fry & Co has looked after a couple of hi-tech start-ups companies founded by simple engineers... Simon and his team have taken care of all the necessary accountancy duties with total professionalism and diligence. They have constantly provided clear explanation and found the optimum solutions to our needs, from every day book-keeping to efficiently securing R&D tax credits. The Clifford Fry team has allowed us to really focus on developing our technology and markets without any of the headaches.

Simon and his team at Clifford Fry have been looking after me for many years now (some 20), and have always managed my unorganised shambles into a set of professional accounts, without complaint (at least to me). Always ready with advice if requested, they have been professional, reliable and friendly throughout that time. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Our company has been with Clifford Fry & Co since 2013 and have always had a superb service from all the team. If my main contact is ever not available I get quickly diverted to another partner who's able to assist. Nothing is ever a drama - however big my own drama is. Highly recommend.
